deltastudio was proudly born in Ronciglione [VT], in Tuscia. A multidisciplinary studio operating in the fields of architecture, urban planning and design, led by Dario Pompei and Valerio Galeone.

Since 2014, the Studio has been investigating the space of living through the use of simple geometries and the poetic of pure materials, the synthesis of a process that is as constructive as it is artisanal of the work. An essential, simple architecture … a metaphor for the intimate and rural landscape that hosts us. From here we draw experiences and deepen traditional techniques to be re-proposed in an innovative way.

Numerous publications, conferences and competitions have given strength to our architecture over the years. A design activity constantly assisted by research and experimentation, where the collaborative approach is fundamental. Artisan, technical, institutional and associative realities with which we have always developed our ideas.
